JD: (standing on a beach) For six years, you have watched new groups of contestants travel to exotic locations all over the world; an island off the coast of California, Baja Mexico, Hawaii, the Tehachapi Mountains, the High Sierras and Fiji. Once there, those contestants have had to face the most unexpected challenges and twists in order to come out on top and prove they have the most endurance. But this season is about to get heated fast, as there are TWENTY-FOUR contestants. The catch? Every one of them has played this game before. That's right; this season on Endurance, you'll get to see contestants from all six previous seasons return. You see me standing on this gorgeous beach in the middle of a chain of islands known as the Maldives. These contestants will have to endure intense heat and chilly nights, as well as playing the game - again. Some faces you'll see have won this game before; that does not guarantee they will be able to do it again. They'll be faced with new people around them and a completely new setting. In the end, only two will be able to make it to the top, where they will become: "Endurance All-Stars: Maldives" Champions!

**********************
JD: (voiceover) This season on Endurance will have an exciting twist right from the start: there are 24 contestants.
*Camera shows a group trekking along a long stretch of white sand*
Ashley: Ashley, E1. I'm really excited to be back and to see who all is competing. I know I did pretty well last time, but I want to go even further this time. I want to win.
Jeff: Jeff, Endurance 2. I'm lucky to be back on Endurance and I'm stoked! I'm going to go all the way and become Endurance champ!
Jonna: Jonna, E1. I'm really happy to be here with all of these amazing people! I was the champion of the very first Endurance and I'm going to be the champion of Endurance All-Stars!
Kelsey: Kelsey, High Sierras. I've seen a few people from my season, which I'm excited about! But I'm also looking forward to meeting everyone from the other seasons. It'll be such a great experience reliving Endurance!
*Camera shows another group of contestants*
Tom: Tom, Endurance: Hawaii. I had some...unfortunate incidents last time, and I'm definitely lucky to have another shot at the Endurance title. I'm going to make sure I get a good partner this time around and hey - the girls here are really pretty. If I get a girlfriend along the way, no complaints.
Jon: Jon, E1. I feel like last time, I only made it as far in the game as I did because I sat back and let Sabrina manipulate everyone else. That's not going to happen this time.
Nicole: Nicole, E3. I got a sucky partner last time and that's why I came in second place. I will not tolerate that this time. I've been looking around and I've got my eye on a few guys that I KNOW will help me make it to the end. I'm going to win this time.
Mike: Mike, Endurance 2. It's so cool getting to come back to Endurance and getting to play with people from all of the other seasons! This will definitely be an amazing experience.
Chris: I'm Chris and I'm from Endurance: Hawaii. Endurance champ then, about to be Endurance champ now. That's right.
Cealey: My name is Cealey and I was on Endurance: High Sierras. I won, baby! And I'm planning on doing that again. There are a LOT of people here from High Sierras and so I feel confident that this will be MY season - again!
*Shows another group of contestants*
Taylor: Taylor, E5. Last time, Connor and I went through so much and we kicked butt. Sure, we went home without winning, but it gave me a lot of confidence. So watch out, other contestants.
Bryanah: I'm Bryanah and I'm from Endurance: Hawaii. I was really able to overcome some major challenges during my experience in Hawaii and I think that's totally going to help me here. I'm really happy to see some of my friends, like Tom and Chris, and I can't wait to meet everyone else!
Dakota: Dakota, High Sierras. Kelsey and I came SO CLOSE to winning Endurance last time and I think we were the ones that truly deserved to win. I regret what I did to Taylor, Connor, Darci and Ike now that I look back, but I'm ready to start over with a whole new group of kids. I'm determined to win the entire thing this time.
Isaac: Isaac, from Endurance: Tehachapi. This is amazing, getting to come back and compete all over with people I've watched on all of the other Endurance seasons! I can't wait.
Scooter: Scooter, Endurance 2. I don't care about friendships with people from the other seasons. My mind is going to be focused completely on the game and this time around, I'm going to win it.
Keetin: Hi, I'm Keetin, E2. This is CRAZY seeing all of these people from the other Endurance seasons! And getting to see some of the people from my season again, it's insane! I think it's going to be awesome.
Connor: Connor, High Sierras. Taylor and I made a really good team on High Sierras and I saw that she's here to compete again too, which I'm really excited about. It's good to see JD again and sweet to meet all of these cool people. But I really want to win this time. That's my main goal.
Max: Max, E1 and 2. This is my third season on Endurance. I went home first the first time and won the whole thing the second. I plan on repeating my second time.
Sabrina: Sabrina, Endurance 1. I'm a liar and deceiver, yeah, but I could care less. I like being able to manipulate people; that's how I went all the way to second place last time. I don't care about friends. I only want to win. So I'll do whatever it takes to make it to the end.
Garret: My name is Garret and I'm from Endurance: High Sierras. A lot of people didn't really like me last time and I wasn't even part of an official team, but I don't really care. I'm back now and that's all that matters. It's great seeing people like Cealey again, and I'm looking forward to winning.
Willa: Willa, Hawaii. My partner and I didn't really get along last time and that's why we went home. So this time around, it's crucial that I get a good partner!
Brianna: Brianna, from Endurance: Fiji. I did not get far at ALL in Fiji, which makes me want to win this thing even more. I'm going to get an awesome partner and we're going to kick BUTT.
Erika: Hey I'm Erika, from Endurance: Tehachapi. I was Endurance champ and it feels really great knowing I was able to accomplish that! I've loved every season of Endurance, so it feels cool meeting some of the other contestants. But I am aware that it's going to be tough to beat some of them. I think I can do it, though.
Jonathan: Jonathan, Fiji. Apparently I was kind of mean to my partner a few times. Whatever. It doesn't even matter. You know what does matter? Winning.
*Camera pans out to show the entire group gathered in front of JD*
JD: Hey guys!
Everyone: Hey!
JD: Welcome to Endurance All-Stars: Maldives. You've all played Endurance before. And each of you has been selected to come back and play this game over. This season will be an extremely exciting one, filled with twists, the first of which has already happened. If you look around, you'll notice there are 24 of you, not 20.
*Everyone looks around, surprised*
JD: You'll be split up into teams, where you will compete in challenges from all six of our seasons. These challenges are favorites of mine, the crew and all of the fans. You'll all be competing on this beautiful beach, but you'll have to endure extreme heat, cold nights and the challenge of working with a whole new group of people. Some of you will, unfortunately, find yourself at the Temple of Fate.
*JD points to a high cliff, where the Temple of Fate is set up. Camera pans to show the contestants, all looking nervous*
JD: And unfortunately, like on previous seasons of Endurance, not all of you will become official contestants.
*Camera shows Jonna and Erika, both frowning*
JD: Even though there are 24 of you, only six will be going home, which means there will be an Endurance first this season: nine teams!
*there is some cheering*
JD: And I have some good news for you; no one will be going home today.
*Everyone cheers*
JD: That's right. Everyone will be spending at least one night here in the Maldives. Before you get to go check out where you'll be staying, take a look around you.
*The contestants glance around at each other*
JD: Two of you, standing here right now, will become the next Endurance champion. Go ahead and go check out your living quarters, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
*Everyone rushes off to see where they'll be staying. There are gasps as everyone catches a glimpse of the huts.*
Nicole: OH MY GOD!
Connor: That's sweet!
*There are 2 two-story huts, each one attached by a little bridge. Like in Fiji, they are right next to the water and connected to a little boardwalk that leads out over the ocean*
Dakota: (confessional) The huts...were super sweet. They were freakin' awesome. That's all I gotta say.
Jonna: (confessional) Oh...my gosh! Just...oh my gosh! I can't believe we are going to be LIVING in these huts!! They're amazing!
Sabrina: (confessional) The huts are okay, I mean...they're huts, come on. I guess they're better than what I had to stay in last time, but still. Huts. (there is a pause as she shakes her head before she rolls her eyes)
Cealey: (runs into the huts) Kelsey, come here! (runs up to the upper level) Oh my gosh, this is AMAZING! We're right on the ocean! Ahh! (throws her stuff on a bed) Kelsey, come up here and claim the bed next to mine!
Kelsey: (confessional) (sighs) It's cool having Cealey here, cause she and I are still good friends and I love her to death. But...Dakota's here again too. Which don't get me wrong, I am PSYCHED about! I LOVE Dakota, he was my partner last time and he's awesome! But he and Cealey dated after the show and they only broke up because of long-distance issues. They're still friends and I bet you anything they'll start dating again. Which is fine, no big deal. But I don't want Cealey starting any drama like last time because I don't hang out with her as much as she wants me to. I'm not being the third wheel. If she wants to get back together with Dakota, that's fine. She'd just better find time for me too if she expects me to worship her 24/7 and not run off to someone like Taylor.
Cealey: (confessional) Yay! Kelsey AND Dakota are both here! Me and Dakota were sooo close and we definitely had something special. I can't wait to hang with him and it's going to be great having Kels here too!
Jon: (confessional) So, Ashley's here. (closes his eyes and clenches his fist in triumph) Yessss. We dated for a while after Endurance and we both still like each other. Hopefully we'll get to hang out some while we're here.
Bryanah: (confessional) So everyone here is really cool, we've been having such a good time getting to know each other!
*Camera shows groups of contestants laughing and running around*
Bryanah: (confessional) And I've loved being able to reunite with Chris and Tom.
*Shows Bryanah hugging Tom and Chris.*
Bryanah: (confessional) But...Nicole's here. Awesome. (shakes head) Whatever. I'm just focusing on the game this time. There was soo much drama in Hawaii! Hopefully there won't be as much this time around...
********************
THE NEXT DAY
Brianna: (confessional) So the Right-to-Stay challenge is today, which I'm kind of nervous about, but at the same time, I'm anxious. JD said all the challenges would be ones that have been played in previous seasons, so there's a chance the Right-to-Stay could be the same one in Fiji. (laughs) The only thing that bothers me is that there's another girl here with my same name. She's kind of annoying. She's been flirting with a lot of the guys.
*Shows Bryanah laughing with Dakota, hugging Connor and dancing with Tom*
Brianna: (confessional) It's sooo ANNOYING. Ugh. I hope she goes home in the Right-to-Stay...
*Camera shows the group walking towards JD on the beach. Out in the distance in the water is a contraption with twelve sets of rings*
JD: Morning, everyone!
Everyone: Morning, JD.
JD: Hope you got enough sleep and are ready for today's challenge. If you look out at the water there, you'll see a big contraption with twelve different sets of rings. This challenge is the only challenge that is not from another season, as we figured having a Right-to-Stay that we've already had would give those from that season an unfair advantage. You will notice there are little platforms beneath each set of rings. The concept of this challenge is pretty simple: you will stand on that platform and grab ahold of the rings. When I say "Go!" the platforms will drop, leaving you to hold onto those rings for as long as you can. The first three girls and the first three boys to drop will be eliminated from the game. Girls, you're up first. Let's go!
*Camera shows everyone looking nervous before it changes to show the twelve girls out on the platforms, some shaking their hands and heads, others jumping up and down a little*
JD: Girls, grab ahold of the rings! When I say "Go!", hold on as tight as you can!
*the girls grab ahold of the rings*
JD: On your mark, get set...go!
*the girls tighten their grips as the platforms drop*
JD: And here we go! Just focus on holding onto those rings for as long as you can and not falling into the water.
Jon: Come on, Ashley! You can do it! Let's go, Jonna and Sabrina!
Connor: Yeahhhh Taylor! Let's go Bryanah!
Brianna: (calls out) Which one?!
Connor: Uhh...both of you!
JD: It's been five minutes already girls, five minutes. Everyone is still holding on strong.
Willa: (thinking) This is really difficult. I don't know how much longer I can do this.
Taylor: GEEZ this sucks!
Cealey: (tries not to roll her eyes as she keeps a determined face)
Dakota: Come on, Taylor, just keep holding on!
Cealey: (her jaw drops as she glares at him)
Dakota: (doesn't notice) Come on, guys, you can do it!
JD: 7 minutes and no one has dropped. Willa looks like she's struggling with it a little!
Willa: My arms are shaking...I don't think I can do this much longer.
Jonna: Just keep holding on, Willa. Don't even think about it.
Willa: (about to cry) I can't! (she lets go and falls into the water)
JD: Oh! And Willa has fallen! She is the first person eliminated from Endurance! Two more to go!
Tom: Yeah BRY! And CEALEY! And ASHLEY!
Jonathan: Let's go, girls!
Taylor: Ugh I hate this! I really don't know that I can do this!
Ashley: You CAN! Mind over matter.
Garret: Come on, Cealey!!
Cealey: (rolls her eyes) (mutters) Oh God...
Brianna: (her arms start shaking)
Erika: This is...like surfing.
Nicole: Oh please. DON'T start talking to yourself like you did in that dumb mission.
Erika: Might I remind you, that I beat all of the guys and won that mission.
Nicole: Yeah, whatever.
JD: We're twenty minutes in and -
*All of a sudden, you see someone fall*
JD: Oh! And KEETIN has fallen! The second girl to drop! One more girl!
Taylor: I can't. I really can't. I need to let go.
JD: Keep holding on, ladies. Twenty-two minutes.
Taylor: I'm going to let go. I really think I am.
Brianna: (arms shaking, thinking) Stop complaining about it and just let go...
JD: Twenty-five minutes! Twenty-five minutes you've been holding on and oh! Someone just dropped!
*Camera shows Brianna emerging from the water*
JD: That's it. Brianna has dropped, making her the third and final girl eliminated from the competition!
Taylor: YES! (lets go)
*there are gasps and shrieks of joy and relief as the girls all let go and fall into the water*
JD: It's your turn, boys!
*Camera switches to show the boys now positioned on the platforms, each holding onto the rings.*
JD: And ready, set...go!
*The boys tighten their grip as the platforms drop*
JD: Oh! And Jonathan has fallen immediately! It looks like his grip wasn't strong enough and he slipped! He is the first boy eliminated!
*Shows Jonathan emerging from the water and punching it*
Jonna: Let's go, boys! Woo!
Ashley: Come on, Jon!
Cealey: LET'S GO, DAKOTA! You can do it, babe!
Bryanah: Yeeah Tom and Dakota! And Chris!
JD: You have now been holding on for thirteen minutes and not another one of you has dropped.
Mike: Hoo. This is a lot more difficult than it looks. Yeah...I don't like this. Oh, man. I can't do it.
JD: OH! And Mike has fallen! Second guy to drop, one more! Just keep holding on, guys!
Taylor: Come on Connor and Dakota!!
Cealey: (glares at Taylor)
Nicole: Go Dakota! You're rockin' it, hun.
Cealey: (shakes her head in anger at Nicole)
Nicole: (just smirks before smirking at Ashley and yelling) Jon! Baby, you can do it!
Ashley: (confused, she glances over at her, but shrugs it off)
Scooter: (smirking at some of the other boys, who are struggling.)(thinking) If you can't handle it, then why are you here? (tries to reposition and get a better grip, but accidentally slips and falls)
JD: And after thirty minutes, Scooter has fallen! It's over, the three guys have been eliminated!
*There are yells of happiness as all of the guys let go. The camera shows Scooter smacking the water furiously, an angry look on his face*
Keetin: I really thought I could do this, but it was soo difficult and my arms were hurting so bad. I had to let go and I'm so upset, because I really wanted to be here. But I realize that I already had one great experience on Endurance and now I've met a bunch of new cool people. I did the best I could.
Brianna: (crying) I can't believe it. I don't know HOW I fell! It just...happened and I am SO angry! (shakes head) I was doing fine, I don't know what happened. (wipes her eyes) I wish the outcome of this were different, but I guess I'll just have to accept that what happened happened. (shrugs) There's nothing I can do about it.
Willa: (groans) WHY DID I LET GO?! Looking back, that was one of the dumbest things I've ever done! I should've tried to overcome the pain! But whatever, I mean, I've still had a good time and at least now I won't have to worry about picking a partner!
Scooter: (shakes head, furious) I slipped. I freaking slipped. I was beating all of those guys, some of them were shaking like crazy. They were weak! I had it in the bag, I was ready to be the next Endurance champ! I am so mad at myself right now. But I guess this just wasn't meant to happen.
Mike: You know, I really thought that I had it, and it wasn't too bad from the start, but as time went on, it got really difficult to hold onto those rings! I know that if I had tried a bit more, I would've been able to hold on for a few more minutes at least, but it still probably wouldn't have made me a contestant. (shrugs) Oh well. No regrets. I had a really great time here and that's all that matters.
Jonathan: Yeah, whatever. I didn't really want to be here anyway. (shakes head bitterly) I didn't have a complete grip on the stupid rings when JD said "Go", it wasn't fair and it wasn't my fault. I'm glad I'm going home.
*camera changes to show JD standing in front of the 18 remaining contestants. The contestants are all wrapped in towels*
JD: Congratulations, guys. You've made it. You are the 18 final contestants on Endurance All-Stars: Maldives.
Chris: Yeah!
Isaac: Woo!
*Everyone claps and cheers*
JD: (grins and claps) Great job everyone, you deserve it. I'm gonna let you guys go in a minute, but before I do, I want to advise you to take a look around you. I know you all have already gotten somewhat acquainted but tonight I want you to really get to know your fellow contestants. You may know some of them because they were from your season, but take the time to meet everyone else. Kind of get a feel for who you want as your partner because tomorrow, you guys will compete in the partner mission. This is one of the most important missions in Endurance, so be sure you know who you want as your partner before you meet me tomorrow. You're free to go.
Bryanah: Thanks, JD.
*Camera pans to show the group heading back to the huts*
*music starts playing*
Erika: (confessional) Woo hoo! Official contestant on Endurance All Stars! Yes!
Tom: (confessional) I am stoked to be here! I was sad to see Willa go, cause she was really cool, and it was sad seeing the others go too, but now I just gotta focus on the game and who's still here. Partner mission is tomorrow...
Nicole: (confessional) YEAHH!! I AM AN OFFICAL CONTESTANT! AGAIN! That's right.
Jonna: (confessional) So...the partner mission is tomorrow. (shakes head) I am so nervous for that. I was really lucky to get Aaron last time. I mean, it's such an important part of the game, because if you don't get the partner you want...(shakes head) Well, I don't even want to think about that...

Dakota: (confessional) The huts...were super sweet. They were freakin' awesome. That's all I gotta say.
Jonna: (confessional) Oh...my gosh! Just...oh my gosh! I can't believe we are going to be LIVING in these huts!! They're amazing!
Sabrina: (confessional) The huts are okay, I mean...they're huts, come on. I guess they're better than what I had to stay in last time, but still. Huts. (there is a pause as she shakes her head before she rolls her eyes)
Cealey: (runs into the huts) Kelsey, come here! (runs up to the upper level) Oh my gosh, this is AMAZING! We're right on the ocean! Ahh! (throws her stuff on a bed) Kelsey, come up here and claim the bed next to mine!
Kelsey: (confessional) (sighs) It's cool having Cealey here, cause she and I are still good friends and I love her to death. But...Dakota's here again too. Which don't get me wrong, I am PSYCHED about! I LOVE Dakota, he was my partner last time and he's awesome! But he and Cealey dated after the show and they only broke up because of long-distance issues. They're still friends and I bet you anything they'll start dating again. Which is fine, no big deal. But I don't want Cealey starting any drama like last time because I don't hang out with her as much as she wants me to. I'm not being the third wheel. If she wants to get back together with Dakota, that's fine. She'd just better find time for me too if she expects me to worship her 24/7 and not run off to someone like Taylor.
Cealey: (confessional) Yay! Kelsey AND Dakota are both here! Me and Dakota were sooo close and we definitely had something special. I can't wait to hang with him and it's going to be great having Kels here too!
Jon: (confessional) So, Ashley's here. (closes his eyes and clenches his fist in triumph) Yessss. We dated for a while after Endurance and we both still like each other. Hopefully we'll get to hang out some while we're here.
Bryanah: (confessional) So everyone here is really cool, we've been having such a good time getting to know each other!
*Camera shows groups of contestants laughing and running around*
Bryanah: (confessional) And I've loved being able to reunite with Chris and Tom.
*Shows Bryanah hugging Tom and Chris.*
Bryanah: (confessional) But...Nicole's here. Awesome. (shakes head) Whatever. I'm just focusing on the game this time. There was soo much drama in Hawaii! Hopefully there won't be as much this time around...
********************
THE NEXT DAY
Brianna: (confessional) So the Right-to-Stay challenge is today, which I'm kind of nervous about, but at the same time, I'm anxious. JD said all the challenges would be ones that have been played in previous seasons, so there's a chance the Right-to-Stay could be the same one in Fiji. (laughs) The only thing that bothers me is that there's another girl here with my same name. She's kind of annoying. She's been flirting with a lot of the guys.
*Shows Bryanah laughing with Dakota, hugging Connor and dancing with Tom*
Brianna: (confessional) It's sooo ANNOYING. Ugh. I hope she goes home in the Right-to-Stay...
*Camera shows the group walking towards JD on the beach. Out in the distance in the water is a contraption with twelve sets of rings*
JD: Morning, everyone!
Everyone: Morning, JD.
JD: Hope you got enough sleep and are ready for today's challenge. If you look out at the water there, you'll see a big contraption with twelve different sets of rings. This challenge is the only challenge that is not from another season, as we figured having a Right-to-Stay that we've already had would give those from that season an unfair advantage. You will notice there are little platforms beneath each set of rings. The concept of this challenge is pretty simple: you will stand on that platform and grab ahold of the rings. When I say "Go!" the platforms will drop, leaving you to hold onto those rings for as long as you can. The first three girls and the first three boys to drop will be eliminated from the game. Girls, you're up first. Let's go!
*Camera shows everyone looking nervous before it changes to show the twelve girls out on the platforms, some shaking their hands and heads, others jumping up and down a little*
JD: Girls, grab ahold of the rings! When I say "Go!", hold on as tight as you can!
*the girls grab ahold of the rings*
JD: On your mark, get set...go!
*the girls tighten their grips as the platforms drop*
JD: And here we go! Just focus on holding onto those rings for as long as you can and not falling into the water.
Jon: Come on, Ashley! You can do it! Let's go, Jonna and Sabrina!
Connor: Yeahhhh Taylor! Let's go Bryanah!
Brianna: (calls out) Which one?!
Connor: Uhh...both of you!
JD: It's been five minutes already girls, five minutes. Everyone is still holding on strong.
Willa: (thinking) This is really difficult. I don't know how much longer I can do this.
Taylor: GEEZ this sucks!
Cealey: (tries not to roll her eyes as she keeps a determined face)
Dakota: Come on, Taylor, just keep holding on!
Cealey: (her jaw drops as she glares at him)
Dakota: (doesn't notice) Come on, guys, you can do it!
JD: 7 minutes and no one has dropped. Willa looks like she's struggling with it a little!
Willa: My arms are shaking...I don't think I can do this much longer.
Jonna: Just keep holding on, Willa. Don't even think about it.
Willa: (about to cry) I can't! (she lets go and falls into the water)
JD: Oh! And Willa has fallen! She is the first person eliminated from Endurance! Two more to go!
Tom: Yeah BRY! And CEALEY! And ASHLEY!
Jonathan: Let's go, girls!
Taylor: Ugh I hate this! I really don't know that I can do this!
Ashley: You CAN! Mind over matter.
Garret: Come on, Cealey!!
Cealey: (rolls her eyes) (mutters) Oh God...
Brianna: (her arms start shaking)
Erika: This is...like surfing.
Nicole: Oh please. DON'T start talking to yourself like you did in that dumb mission.
Erika: Might I remind you, that I beat all of the guys and won that mission.
Nicole: Yeah, whatever.
JD: We're twenty minutes in and -
*All of a sudden, you see someone fall*
JD: Oh! And KEETIN has fallen! The second girl to drop! One more girl!
Taylor: I can't. I really can't. I need to let go.
JD: Keep holding on, ladies. Twenty-two minutes.
Taylor: I'm going to let go. I really think I am.
Brianna: (arms shaking, thinking) Stop complaining about it and just let go...
JD: Twenty-five minutes! Twenty-five minutes you've been holding on and oh! Someone just dropped!
*Camera shows Brianna emerging from the water*
JD: That's it. Brianna has dropped, making her the third and final girl eliminated from the competition!
Taylor: YES! (lets go)
*there are gasps and shrieks of joy and relief as the girls all let go and fall into the water*
JD: It's your turn, boys!
*Camera switches to show the boys now positioned on the platforms, each holding onto the rings.*
JD: And ready, set...go!
*The boys tighten their grip as the platforms drop*
JD: Oh! And Jonathan has fallen immediately! It looks like his grip wasn't strong enough and he slipped! He is the first boy eliminated!
*Shows Jonathan emerging from the water and punching it*
Jonna: Let's go, boys! Woo!
Ashley: Come on, Jon!
Cealey: LET'S GO, DAKOTA! You can do it, babe!
Bryanah: Yeeah Tom and Dakota! And Chris!
JD: You have now been holding on for thirteen minutes and not another one of you has dropped.
Mike: Hoo. This is a lot more difficult than it looks. Yeah...I don't like this. Oh, man. I can't do it.
JD: OH! And Mike has fallen! Second guy to drop, one more! Just keep holding on, guys!
Taylor: Come on Connor and Dakota!!
Cealey: (glares at Taylor)
Nicole: Go Dakota! You're rockin' it, hun.
Cealey: (shakes her head in anger at Nicole)
Nicole: (just smirks before smirking at Ashley and yelling) Jon! Baby, you can do it!
Ashley: (confused, she glances over at her, but shrugs it off)
Scooter: (smirking at some of the other boys, who are struggling.)(thinking) If you can't handle it, then why are you here? (tries to reposition and get a better grip, but accidentally slips and falls)
JD: And after thirty minutes, Scooter has fallen! It's over, the three guys have been eliminated!
*There are yells of happiness as all of the guys let go. The camera shows Scooter smacking the water furiously, an angry look on his face*
Keetin: I really thought I could do this, but it was soo difficult and my arms were hurting so bad. I had to let go and I'm so upset, because I really wanted to be here. But I realize that I already had one great experience on Endurance and now I've met a bunch of new cool people. I did the best I could.
Brianna: (crying) I can't believe it. I don't know HOW I fell! It just...happened and I am SO angry! (shakes head) I was doing fine, I don't know what happened. (wipes her eyes) I wish the outcome of this were different, but I guess I'll just have to accept that what happened happened. (shrugs) There's nothing I can do about it.
Willa: (groans) WHY DID I LET GO?! Looking back, that was one of the dumbest things I've ever done! I should've tried to overcome the pain! But whatever, I mean, I've still had a good time and at least now I won't have to worry about picking a partner!
Scooter: (shakes head, furious) I slipped. I freaking slipped. I was beating all of those guys, some of them were shaking like crazy. They were weak! I had it in the bag, I was ready to be the next Endurance champ! I am so mad at myself right now. But I guess this just wasn't meant to happen.
Mike: You know, I really thought that I had it, and it wasn't too bad from the start, but as time went on, it got really difficult to hold onto those rings! I know that if I had tried a bit more, I would've been able to hold on for a few more minutes at least, but it still probably wouldn't have made me a contestant. (shrugs) Oh well. No regrets. I had a really great time here and that's all that matters.
Jonathan: Yeah, whatever. I didn't really want to be here anyway. (shakes head bitterly) I didn't have a complete grip on the stupid rings when JD said "Go", it wasn't fair and it wasn't my fault. I'm glad I'm going home.
*camera changes to show JD standing in front of the 18 remaining contestants. The contestants are all wrapped in towels*
JD: Congratulations, guys. You've made it. You are the 18 final contestants on Endurance All-Stars: Maldives.
Chris: Yeah!
Isaac: Woo!
*Everyone claps and cheers*
JD: (grins and claps) Great job everyone, you deserve it. I'm gonna let you guys go in a minute, but before I do, I want to advise you to take a look around you. I know you all have already gotten somewhat acquainted but tonight I want you to really get to know your fellow contestants. You may know some of them because they were from your season, but take the time to meet everyone else. Kind of get a feel for who you want as your partner because tomorrow, you guys will compete in the partner mission. This is one of the most important missions in Endurance, so be sure you know who you want as your partner before you meet me tomorrow. You're free to go.
Bryanah: Thanks, JD.
*Camera pans to show the group heading back to the huts*
*music starts playing*
Erika: (confessional) Woo hoo! Official contestant on Endurance All Stars! Yes!
Tom: (confessional) I am stoked to be here! I was sad to see Willa go, cause she was really cool, and it was sad seeing the others go too, but now I just gotta focus on the game and who's still here. Partner mission is tomorrow...
Nicole: (confessional) YEAHH!! I AM AN OFFICAL CONTESTANT! AGAIN! That's right.
Jonna: (confessional) So...the partner mission is tomorrow. (shakes head) I am so nervous for that. I was really lucky to get Aaron last time. I mean, it's such an important part of the game, because if you don't get the partner you want...(shakes head) Well, I don't even want to think about that...
